Hampshire 162 for 1 (Gubbins 87*) beat Surrey 160 (Fuller 4-34, Neal 3-33) by nine wickets
Excellent bowling from veteran seamer James Fuller, inexperienced slow left-armer Andrew Neal and pacy 16-year-old Manny Lumsden proved too much for Surrey at the Kia Oval in what became an embarrassingly one-sided nine-wicket Hampshire victory.
The Hawks dismissed Surrey for 160 in 46.3 overs before skipper Nick Gubbins anchored a buccaneering chase with 87 not out from 60 balls. Hampshire's fourth win in five Group A matches, clinched with a massive 30.5 overs to spare, boosts their ambitions of qualification for the Metro Bank One-Day Cup knockout stages.

Trinbago Knight Riders 231 for 5 (Munro 120, Hales 47, Holder 2-40) beat St Kitts and Nevis Patriots 219 for 7 (Holder 44, Fletcher 41, Tariq 4-33) by 12 runs
Colin Munro enjoyed a triumphant return to the Trinbago Knight Riders, scoring a record-breaking century in his first game back with the CPL team he had represented for seven years until 2022. He smashed 120 off 57 balls - no TKR batter has made more - to set up a total of 231, which paved the way to a 12-run victory over St Kitts and Nevis Patriots.
Munro, who has retired from international cricket but continues to be a force in T20 leagues the world over, made his first T20 century in four years, and celebrated it by tossing his bat and punching the air with both fists. He was last seen in the CPL two years ago, playing for the St Lucia Kings, and practically matched the work he did in six games for them (172 runs) with just one innings here.
